leighblackI've had a terrible time sleeping through the night for the past week or so. I keep having weird dreams that wake me up and I spend a lot of the night tossing and turning. Last night's dream had something to do with birds. Sat night's dream was pretty involved, with some people trying to break into Hallmark to steal things and money. They got away with it once but came back while I was working. I tried to block them from getting into the store and when that failed, I snuck out. But I couldn't get my cell phone, the store phone or the phone at a neighboring store to dial 911 or the local police number. It was weird. I was blaming the weird dreams on taking Tylenol PM, but I haven't taken any for a few nights.
Can we be over some of the Harry Potter hype now? The one thing that really riled me up is stories of people in stores getting harassed because they flipped the book open to the back while in the store. Uhh, I think they have the right to do that, last time I checked. I'm totally a person who does that, because I like to see the page count and look at the author page and notes. I know plenty of people who like to read the last page of a book before starting the book. If I'd been in a store looking at the back of HP7 and someone had yelled at me about only reading it from the front, they would have gotten a 700+ page book to the head. Because I totally went to the end of the book first when I was skimming through the pirated copy I downloaded.
Other than that, having 4 days off from work makes Monday more all that more crappy. I got assigned to a client I know nothing about while I was gone and then invited to an all-day call in meeting today. Yeah, I don't think so. I have enough to work to keep me occupied for a couple more hours yet from missing two days of work. Also, if I tell you that I have nothing to do with that system or the department that does the admin for it, don't keep asking me questions about it. My answer is still going to be "Sorry, I have no idea. I don't have anything to do with that."
I'll try to write up a recap of my weekend (with photos!) tonight. Maybe.
